There is an internal spring. That's what you are compressing a bit when you do however many turns in you decide to do! Stuart Wes Wrote: Something I've remained confused about despite years of seeing threads on this adjustment issue is this: When you adjust the lifters to some number of turns in, how do you know the lifters were already pumped to their full length before you did the adjustment? Isn't the whole point of the lifters (assuming they work as they were intended) that they can pump up to a partial length? It almost seems to me that you would have to adjust them way out, run the engine to pump them up, and then adjust them in. Why isn't that necessary?
Thanks for any insights!! Wes |
